ok, my freind has a RM125 and it leaks oil because a seal is bad. But the oil is like silvery and he says theres water in it, but i think is something more serious than water, like clutch grinding or gear grinding?? Has anyone ever had this before?

Old, worn out tanny oil will often look silvery because of all the solid particals in it. Most of it is clutch debris. I've seen tranny oil that almost looked like sliver/gray paint.

sounds like old, water, and particles all mixed together..

and now that i think of it, my old kx tranny oil looked like milk when i took it out.. sounds similar to his oil

Put your fingure in it and see if you can see metal shavings or sparkles. that could be Metal. tell him he needs to change his oil more often.
